Quanah Parker is a friend of my. A year ahead of me in High School in Abilene, Tx. Later, an attorney in one of the cities between Dallas & Fort Worth. A great grandson, if I remember. Quanah also had a brother who was the District Attorney in a County a little to the west of Fort Worth. Good guys, both.

If you want to commit genocide, you've got to do it early. If white Americans today did what their ancestors did to Native Americans a few hundred years ago, they would be condemned by themselves, and the US government would impose sanctions and visa bans on itself. /s

Excellent overview of such an important figure in comanche and american history. I hope that we can find ways to preserve these incredible cultures before our reckless abandon for power drives them to extinction. Thanks for putting out this video

>Steal Comanche land
Lmao. How do you think the Comanche got that land in the first place?
Edit: I also notice that you completely omitted the bloodthirsty nature of Comanche raids. The second half of the video about Quanah was good though.

Has Quanah's story been made a movie? If not I'm stunned, it has all the elements of the classic hero story, as well as love, an exploration of human identity, historic racism and its legacies. I could go on, but I must walk my dog.

I've learned some things about this story at a post secondary school that focuses on our People. Inuit. Called Nunavut Sivuniksavut. This story is one part/step of how my people began to be oppressed & colonized by Canada.

TED-ED You have announced that you are willing to cooperate with new and creative animators, but you will not respond to emails in any way. How can I track and receive a response? Is this field currently open or not?

Even though it was the end of an ancient way of life. It was nice to hear that this story ended peacefully. The title makes you think that these people died in a glorious but bloody battle against the settlers.

Quanah and Cynthia Ann Parker have a special part of my heart. Can't say why, but they'll both be in my heart forever. Just like my Cherroke realtavies.

Is it weird that my heart is warmed by the concept of kidnapped members of different races sometimes become assimilated instead of used or killed?
